It's also probably worth mentioning that we also run twin front and a single rear anti roll bar (ARB), that are adjustable for stiffness. In general you obtain better results by being softer sprung with suitable ARB's for tarmac use, and I often laugh when looking at mk2 escorts, as many have no ARB's at all, yet are only used on tarmac! Most escort folk buy all the rally parts from people like the squires (who incidently do rally!) yet only ever do tarmac events. Classic example of people being sheep!

We have found that our setup generally produces better traction than a comparable escort. For example we only ever run the car in normal circuit setup for the pod, and have done a 11.0@138mph on non drag tyres. From the car's on board data logging we can achieve 0 - 60 in around 3.5 secs and 0 - 100 in 6 secs, on normal track day tyres, which shows how much traction the car has!
